- Black Adder:
Finest comedy I've ever seen. Follow the life of Edmund Blackadder and his descendants, it makes fun at just everybody, and yet still managed to find a touching ending in the series. Rowan Atkinson was great as Blackadder and it helped that the rest of the cast was a bunch of talented actors as well.

- Life on Mars
After a freak accident, DI Sam Tyler found himself 30 years back to 1973, or was he? While Tyler was convinced that he was in a coma and all this was just a dream, he was faced with the possibility that probably all wasn't that simple. Forced to live a life he didn't want to he made the best of whats around to find a way to get back home.

Sam 'partnership' with DCI Gene Hunt, the head of the department was great. Both have very different method in solving crimes, but they always end up working together, and developed grudging respect towards each other. The best part is that it was located in Manchester, and Sam Tyler was portrayed as a United fan

.

House MD
Hugh Laurie played a genius doctor who led a team of young doctors to diagnose patients with mystery illness. It was meant by the creator to be 'CSI against germs', but as the series developed the attraction of the series wasn't about investiganting the mysterious illness, but in the interaction between House and the other people around him. Laurie played the extremely smart, arrogant, anti-social, drug-addict House perfectly, supported by Robert Sean Leonard (Dead Poet Society) as Wilson, House only friend, Lisa Edelstein as Dr Cuddy, House boss, and Omar Epps, Jen Morisson and that Aussie bloke whose name I forgot made the House team. Season 1 and 2 was fantastic, 3 was okay, but 4 wasn't that good. I expect this to get canceled after season 5.

Entourage
Vincent Chase was living the dream as a hotshot new star in Hollywood. And so are his friends and brother. It take a fun and humorous way on portraying the life of the young, the rich and the famous in Hollywood. From dealing with sneaky agents, sleeping with gorgeous women, or smoking pots. Jeremy Piven played a part of his life as the foul mouthed and notorious agent, Ari Gold, who by far have the best lines on the series.

An old show which I thought was canceled to soon was Brimstone. It's about a cop, Ezekiel Stone (John Horton) who was sent to hell after he died because he killed the man who murder and raped his wife. After an outbreak that leads to 113 souls escape from hell, The Devil gives Stone a second chance, send back the souls to hell, and he'll have a second chance with his wife. John Glover was fantastic as The Devil, and his interaction with Stone was the highlight of the show. I think it got 11 episode before it got canceled.
